From what I've seen - the rummage sale people have discovered craigslist. Everyone wants to haggle the price, regardless of how low it starts.

I told her I would rather take a sledgehammer to it than to let you steal it!  I ended up giving it to goodwill.    I guess I would rather give something away for a cause than to a cheap bastard!!

That's EXACTLY my attitude.  Is there anything on this earth worse than a cheap person????

A cheap ass relative.

Relatives that ask you to front money for something for them because they are not physically present and then refuse to pay after they get what they wanted.  I've had that happen too many times.

Firm, yeah. And, in my case, the $10 deal was in person. But, for the above, the word 'boundaries' comes to mind. I've been fortunate to not be bothered with having this kind of relative...but, as idiosyncratic as I am, and having firm boundaries, users aren't even attracted to me.
